Hi Guys
Updated my version of Udev to the patched version using the instructions, now when I boot on to the latest kernel I get:
Starting Udev:
And then nothing, udev doesnt start with a newer kernel (1743), however it still works fine with the older kernel (1719). Any ideas of that else I can try to help debug?

Hi Guy
Currently I have one working kernel on my system 2.6.14-1.1715, on the other Kernels I get Udev freeze. I added a "set -x" and "echo $1" to my rc.sysinit to see what was causing the hang. I got this:
+echo floppy floppy modprobe floppy
This is when it hangs, my laptop has no floppy or floppy controller. So i "#" out modprobe floppy from the rc.sysinit script and it got a little further, but then it froze on:
+echo echi-hcd ehci+hcd +modprobe ehci-hcd
Any one else having problems like this? I have been reporting it on bugzilla (174270) wondered if anyone else had any luck fixing the issue?
Btw the laptop is a Pentium M, Intel 915 Chipset (Sony S Series Laptop). Is there anything else I could try?

This could be udevd running in parallel and doing stuff.. Could you # rpmbuild --rebuild ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/udev/udev-075-5.src.rpm install the rpm and reboot? This udev version has a patch, which waits until udevd has finished replaying the uevents. So we can debug it a little better.
